I'm not going to BOTHER trying perlbug.

jeffp@friday [12:17pm] ~ #535> perl -e 'BEGIN { use CGI; }'

jeffp@friday [12:18pm] ~ #536> perl -e 'BEGIN { use CGI }'
syntax error at /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.00502/CGI.pm line 1, near "package CGI"
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at -e line 1.

What is the reason for that?  Why does it need the semicolon there?  To my
inexperienced brain, this is baffling.
